## Rent-driven metrics

- **This street:** 7.7% gross yield (avg £170,600 sale, £1,095/mo rent)
*Based on OpenRent comparables (median £1,095/mo).*

- **Gross yield:** 6.8%
- **Cost-to-rent:** 14.8×
- **Monthly cashflow:** £197/mo (75% LTV, 3.95% APR (5yr fixed), 25yr term)
- **Cash-on-cash ROI:** 4.2%

*Gross yield = annual rent as % of price (no costs). Cost-to-rent = price ÷ annual rent (from OpenRent comparables); under 14× = strong, 14–16× = acceptable, 17×+ = compressed. Cashflow = rent − mortgage − 10% maintenance − £25/mo compliance; assumes 75% LTV, 3.95% APR (5yr fixed), 25yr term. ROI = annual profit ÷ cash in (deposit + 4% purchase costs).*
